Vetted Data Warehousing Professionals

Rom Manzano

Screened

Executive technical founder and full-stack engineer specializing in AI, SaaS, and FinTech

New York, NY15y exp

“Engineer coming out of a venture studio as it winds down, now seeking another zero-to-one environment with strong studio support and go-to-market playbooks. They show a thoughtful founder mindset centered on rapid shipping, design-partner validation, lean execution, and testing whether users will actually pay for a workflow-specific solution.”

Shuvam Mitra

Mid-level Data Scientist specializing in anomaly detection and production ML

Pittsburgh, PA4y exp

“Interned at Backblaze building production AI systems for incident response and security operations, including an internal LLM-powered incident triage assistant that used Snowflake + RAG over historical tickets/postmortems and delivered results via Slack and a web UI. Emphasizes reliability (PII filtering, grounding, schema validation, fallbacks) and rigorous evaluation/observability (offline replay, partial rollouts, time-to-first-action metrics, Prometheus/Grafana).”

“ML/NLP engineer focused on production-grade data and search/recommendation systems: built an end-to-end pipeline that connects unstructured customer feedback with product data using TF-IDF/BERT, Spark, and AWS (SageMaker/S3), orchestrated with Airflow and monitored for drift. Also has hands-on experience with entity resolution at scale and improving search relevance via BERT embeddings, FAISS vector search, and domain fine-tuning validated with precision@k and A/B testing.”

Executive Technology Leader specializing in Enterprise AI, Cloud Architecture, and Data Platforms

Houston, TX16y exp

“Senior data/technology executive who stays hands-on: currently building a Go micro-kernel orchestration layer for medical AI agents to boost concurrency and enforce HIPAA/PHI controls, achieving 26x throughput on migrated workloads. Has led large-scale transformations across healthcare and financial services, including a 45-day data warehouse rebuild at Elara Caring and a data/ML roadmap at Acelity credited with $230M in annual revenue impact prior to 3M acquisition.”

“CTO-level leader with deep insurtech and cloud security/SaaS experience who has repeatedly scaled global engineering orgs and delivered high-velocity roadmaps. Most recently led Delos Insurance Solutions to launch new homeowners programs for wildfire-prone regions every 3–4 weeks while meeting DOI/SLA requirements, driving $135M GWP and $250M capacity and reaching cash-flow positive. Also led major scalability re-architecture at CloudPassage (Postgres to Cassandra + Kafka) and built a large Estonia-based engineering hub at Cybercube.”

“Hands-on engineering manager at a marketing company leading a highly senior, distributed team (10 direct reports) while personally coding ~60–70% and owning end-to-end architecture across three interconnected products. Built agentic CRM automation and a reinforcement-learning-driven distribution layer for channel spend/bidding, with a strong focus on scalable design and observability (Prometheus/APM/logging) enabling frequent releases and few production incidents.”

“Deloitte consultant who led cross-functional teams delivering a Snowflake/AWS data ingestion, warehousing, and analytics platform, with a strong track record of executive alignment and risk mitigation. Built reusable business-development accelerators (including an end-to-end Appian app and a Java integration-config tool) credited with helping secure $75M+ in contracts, and has high-confidentiality experience consulting for DoD and FDA.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on production ML/LLM systems: built a real-time FastAPI inference API on Kubernetes with strong reliability patterns (timeouts, idempotent retries, centralized error handling). Delivered AWS platforms using EKS + Lambda with GitHub Actions/Helm CI/CD and built Glue-based ETL from S3/Kafka into Snowflake with schema evolution and data-quality controls; also modernized legacy analytics/recommendation workflows into Python services with safe, feature-flagged cutovers.”

“Founder/idea lead behind InvantX, an AI-powered product helping people make better decisions with their own data. Developed the business model canvas and MVP plan, set up an early customer feedback loop, and iterates roadmap/architecture based on beta-user learning. Has participated in accelerators including FinAccelerate, Pegasus, and an NVIDIA program (AWS credits), and applies a metrics-driven, structured approach to traction building.”

“Senior data/AI and platform leader with Walmart- and T-Mobile-scale architecture experience, including building real-time inventory + forecasting platforms (Kafka/Cassandra/Hadoop) and Azure IoT systems. Known for translating board-level business goals into roadmaps that deliver measurable impact (e.g., $50M savings and $250M profit in a year; +2% conversion via Customer 360) and for hands-on problem solving in ML/forecasting (feature reduction and LASSO).”

Patrick Jose

Senior AI Engineer specializing in LLM applications and full-stack systems

San Francisco, CA8y exp

“Built and owned a production LLM/RAG customer support assistant end-to-end, from prototype through deployment, monitoring, and iteration. Their work automated roughly 40% of common support queries and cut response times by about 30%, while also creating reusable Python inference services that improved consistency and team velocity.”

“ML/robotics engineer with Apple experience who built a computer-vision-driven industrial defect detection system integrating a robotic arm with ROS-based real-time inference on an edge GPU. Drove major performance gains (cut inference time ~60% via quantization + TensorRT) and improved robustness to lighting/material variation, with strong emphasis on production reliability (health checks, watchdogs, observability, CI/CD) and interest in shaping early-stage startup engineering culture.”

Tamara Eliscovich Sigal

Mid-level Analytics & Strategy professional specializing in FinTech and SaaS revenue growth

New York, NY5y exp

“Data-driven operator/analytics leader with experience spanning post-acquisition integration (Papaya Global/Azimo), executive BI systems (warehouse + dbt + Looker), and high-tempo operations leadership (managed Rappi’s Argentina fleet during COVID). Has repeatedly aligned senior stakeholders by defining KPIs upfront, building scenario models in SQL/Python, and operationalizing a trusted single source of truth for leadership.”
